Azathoth posted:This was all a really good read, and definitely reminded me of Drapetomania, the junk psychology term for why slaves would want to run away, and how that was treated as a contagion as well. reminds me of Deleuze posted:How can we conceive of a peopling, a propagation, a becoming that is without filiation or hereditary production? A multiplicity without the unity of an ancestor? It is quite simple; everybody knows it, but it is discussed only in secret. We oppose epidemic to filiation, contagion to heredity, peopling by contagion to sexual reproduction, sexual production. Bands, human or animal, proliferate by contagion, epidemics, battlefields, and catastrophes. Like hybrids, which are in themselves sterile, born of a sexual union that will not reproduce itself, but which begins over again every time, gaining that much more ground. Unnatural participations or nuptials are the true Nature spanning the kingdoms of nature. Propagation by epidemic, by contagion, has nothing to do with filiation by heredity, even if the two themes intermingle and require each other. ofc he doesn't really disapprove of this. his response to "communism is contagious" would be something along the lines of the chad "Yes." meme

the families at the tippy top of the power elite, your bushes, your kennedys, your rockefellers, are like the mob: you're born into it and you can't get out. the most you can do is turn into a failson and either become a bad artist or a professional "philanthropist". become too much of a public embarrassment and you get the rosemary kennedy or princess diana treatment. if you really go off the reservation you get the JFK treatment.

i heard i think cushbomb or mattsjudge talk about internal struggle of yankee/cowboy factions of the IC, the only book i can find is "The Yankee and Cowboy War: Conspiracies from Dallas to Watergate" by Carl Oglesby, is that the best resource for this idea? it's like 50 y/o so hoping maybe this thesis has been covered in a more contemporaneous resource.

bedpan posted:concentrated wealth and power tends to stay concentrated. unless something happens to dislocate those nodes of money and influence, they will just stay around and entrench and extend. perhaps one of the ways power stays concentrated is that the older generations allow the newer to connect with the current zeitgeist rather than try to change it if that’s what it takes to preserve the family’s position doesn’t mean it’s not an op, just that the aim of any given op or even awareness that it’s an op may not be entirely clear what better way to retain power, influence, and wealth in the long term than to try to be in influence of those who may induce a phase change, if opposing that change may become too high of a risk? again. not saying it’s this way, just that it’s another possibility worth considering, since the way to stick around for the true long term is to game-theory the poo poo out of every significant decision and exhibit zero loyalty to anyone or anything else (but some might have ignorant ideas about what decisions are significant)

DirtyRobot posted:It should prolly be said explicitly that in addition to the conspiracy stuff Judge literally has a bunch of eps on Pynchon His Pynchon episodes are so good. I had never looked into Pynchon's own background but learning about his involvement with SAGE, most likely while he was writing The Crying of Lot 49 was a good ol' fashion ping.

MSJ's episodes cover Inherent Vice, Lot 49, and GR in that order. So you could read along while podcasting.

Prisoners of the American Dream touches on this as well, but that's pretty old (1980s) too, although Davis' discussion of 80s Democratic politics basically 2015-present but with Jesse Jackson instead of Bernie

There's a whole infrastructure of near-automated cooptation of social movements built up around the democrat party and media.
